Phoenix by John Connor
This debut novel is set in Yorkshire, from a young English lawyer turned crime writer, and introduces Detective Constable Karen Sharpe.
'John Connor's debut novel Phoenix starts as just about the most impresive police procedural that I've ever read - and one of the most authentic, presumably since Connor is a lawyer with the CPS.. His style and approach are quite unusual and I have high hopes that this series will turn out to be something a bit special.' -- Mat Coward MORNING STAR '... Connor makes excellent use of his procedural knowledge to heighten the tension and crank up the pace, building to a breathless climax.' SHERLOCK MAGAZINE 'a first-rate thriller with a terrific climax.' -- Susanna Yager SUNDAY TELEGRAPH 'Grisham did it in America, now a British criminal lawyer debuts with a suspense-packed thriller.' PETERBOROUGH EVENING TELEGRAPH 'The kind of thriller that would make for a great TV series.' IRISH EXAMINER
